.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
 \fBamaespipe\fR requires \fBaespipe\fR and \fBgpg\fR to work\&. Aespipe is available from : http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net

.PP
 \fBamaespipe\fR will search for the aespipe program in the following directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin\&.
\fBamaespipe\fR is called by  \fBamcrypt\fR for \fBAmanda\fR data encryption\&.

.PP
 \fBamaespipe\fR is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program\&. It calls aespipe to encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash function\&. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/\&.gnupg/am_key\&.gpg\&. \fBamaespipe\fR reads passphrase from file descriptor 3\&. During decryption, \fBamaespipe\fR autodects encryption type and hash function from the encrypted image\&.
